Travel Delaware

Introduction

You've been to the beach in Delaware, and you've been to museums. But have you really gotten a taste of the state's most interesting attractions? You'll find them here:

Rehoboth Beach

Rehoboth Beach is a city in Sussex County, Delaware, United States. It is part of the Salisbury, Maryland-Delaware Metropolitan Statistical Area. The city lies on the Atlantic Ocean coast at the mouth of the Broadkill River on the southern end of Delaware's southern peninsula.

The year-round population was 2,381 at the 2010 census; however it increases significantly during summer months, with out-of-town vacationers often doubling its population.[1] Rehoboth Beach hosts over 2 million visitors per year making it one of America's most popular resorts.[2]

Winterthur Museum, Garden & Library

Winterthur Museum, Garden & Library is a museum of American art, primarily decorative arts, and landscape architecture. It was bequeathed to the people of Delaware by Henry Francis du Pont in 1951. The 160-acre property features a variety of gardens and diverse plant life across its grounds; these include formal French style gardens as well as naturalistic landscapes with ponds and streams.

The museum is located at 5105 Kennett Pike (Route 52) near Wilmington on the Brandywine Creek.

Dover International Speedway

If you're a fan of NASCAR, Dover International Speedway is where you'll want to be! Located just east of the state capital of Dover, Delaware and one mile long, this tri-oval race track was designed by Alan Wilson and built by Larry Carrier. It opened in 1969 as a regular season race with Richard Petty winning the inaugural event.

Dover has hosted two Monster Energy Cup Series races annually since its opening year in 1969 (with only four exceptions). In addition to being one of the most popular tracks on the circuit due to its size and proximity to Baltimore/Washington D.C., it also plays host to several Xfinity Series events each year as well; both series run on September's AAA 400 Drive for Autism event at "The Monster Mile."

Hagley Museum and Library

The Hagley Museum and Library is located in Wilmington, Delaware. It's open Tuesday through Friday from 10:00 to 5:00 p.m., and Saturdays from 10:00 to 4:30 p.m. Admission is $12 for adults, $10 for seniors, and $8 for children ages 6-12; children under 6 are admitted free of charge (although they may find it difficult to read some of the exhibits).

The museum focuses on transportation history, with a particular focus on the development of railroads throughout America. Visitors can see original documents related to the creation of Amtrak in 1971, or check out a miniature model train display that was built using actual railroad tracks left over from when trains used to travel through downtown Wilmington!

Zwaanendael Museum

The Zwaanendael Museum is located on the banks of the Delaware Bay in Lewes, Delaware. The museum is dedicated to the history of the Dutch settlement in Lewes, Delaware, and includes exhibits about its history dating back to 1631 when it was established by David Pietersen de Vries as a fur trading post for New Netherland.

The museum features exhibits that range from historic artifacts from life on a 17th century shipwreck, including cannons and anchors from Dutch ships off Cape Henlopen; artifacts from colonial period Lewes including furniture and tools; paintings by local artists depicting scenes of early Lewes; as well as displays highlighting Delaware's role in American Revolution with items such as uniforms worn by soldiers at Battle of Big Sandy Creek during Revolutionary War.

Nanticoke Indian Museum

As Delaware's first inhabitants, the Nanticoke Indians are an interesting piece of Delaware's history. Located in Millsboro, the museum offers a number of exhibits and programs that give visitors a glimpse into what life was like for these ancient inhabitants.

Among other things, you can visit their living history village and see how these people lived before European settlers arrived. The museum also has a gift shop where you can buy souvenirs or gifts for loved ones back home.

The museum is open year round so come by anytime!

Fort Christina

Fort Christina was built by the Swedish East India Company in 1638 on the Delaware River. It was named after Queen Kristina of Sweden, and was the first permanent European settlement in colonial America. Today, visitors can see what remains of this historic fort, which is located on the banks of the river at Old Swedes Landing Park.
